Yep... planted bulbils produce rounds - I call that year 1.
Plant the rounds in the fall, they will produce (mostly) small divided bulbs in year two.
Plant the cloves, and get a larger bulb in year three.
The Music I grew up could be considered full size in year 4, although some are bigger yet in this year 5.
The long ago bed sounds like fun.
Thin em? Pull em? Sort em? Replant the bigguns? And bulbils too? It's a zen me out garlic party.
